I feel like people do not fully understand how much life changed for our species between 1900 and 2000.
I still struggle to comprehend it.
These events are 66 years apart.

The Atlanta shooter blamed a specific race of people for his problems, and then murdered them because of it. If that’s not racism, then the word has no meaning.

He's using the American military against the American people.
He tear-gassed peaceful protesters and fired rubber bullets.
For a photo.
For our children, for the very soul of our country, we must defeat him. But I mean it when I say this: we can only do it together.
Police in Washington, D.C. used tear gas and rubber bullets on peaceful protesters to clear them away from St. John's church, which suffered a small fire Sunday night, near the White House.
President Trump then walked to the church for a photo op. trib.al/XNZfS1U

People who deactivated Facebook in a study were happier afterward, reporting higher levels of life satisfaction and lower levels of depression and anxiety.
That change is equal to about 25-40% of the beneficial effect typically reported for psychotherapy trib.al/IqNEOsM
